Nostalgia = TranscendenceToeti Heraty

Nostalgia is transcendence,
yes, it’s another play on words
and foreign words at that
but everything is foreign now
everything is an illusion
let’s get back to nostalgia
it is also, a loss,
shadows in our memory
which have lost their terror,
irony has pillowed them

the present in flashback
who knows what’s going to happen…
what’s happening now – yesterday – tomorrow,
all taken care of
isn’t that transcendence?
